-tendea joke, shows the bitter hatred which the IVlink ters (of whom that Journal is the organ), entertain for the liberal and enlightened policy which guides thc Councils of Great Britain. The paragraph we refer to is as follows : We read in many accounts of travels that a vessel is sometimes surrounded by whales, and that in order to get rid of this trouble Som e. convoy they throw empty casks to the whales, which divert them. While the sea-monsters amuse themselves throwing about in the air these odd spe cies of play-things, looking at thein f a lling, and throwing them up again, the vessel makes way as fast as possible to wards its destination. The English, who are skilful sailors, and equally able politicians, employ the same stratagem in other cases besides, when they are on the main seas ; and to attktin their objects they take care now and then to throw empty casks, which they call Charters, to amuse the foolish animals called the people. While these are playing . at constitutions, England, which has set the game a-going, carries off the stakes, and laughs at the dupes whom she has deceived. The writer of this article ought to remember that it is by the possession of a Charter that this country has been able to maintain its superiority over France and all the nations of the world, and to steer in safety through the stormy seas which have over whelmed other countries. To her alone is owing the Charterof France, of which such a boast is occasionally made ; and enjoying herself the blessings of a Charter, England will magnanimously endeavour to extend the advantages of such a bulwark of Civil Rights to all nations, who seek her support in the hour of danger not for her own advantage, as the French writer basely insinuates, but from a knowledge that the possession of Liberal Institutions, if well defined by a Charter, is conducive to the happiness of all, from the Monarch to the peasant, in every country ; and to the peace and security of the great family of nations. Nothing is more easy for a writer than to deal in , generalities. A man who has never visited a country, . may yet venture, from hearsay, to strike off an appa randy fair description—dwelling in general terms upon mountains, rivers, climate, and such like ; but he keeps as far aloof from particularities as he would from a grape-shot, well knowing that if he descends from his dreaming clouds he may catch a Tartar among the curious inhabitants. Yet how many are deceived by • the specious account of such scribes ? for people cannot know the truth of every thing they hear, and , are at the very mercy of the historian, or, more correctly, the novelist, in matters foreign to them selves, though relatively interesting, as affecting the . condition of human life to the numerous casualties of which they are all more or less subject. Now, some writers take a peculiar delight in conning the pages of chronology, for the learned purpose of lugging in some antediluvian events to work up a sounding cli max for present purposes, and among this pompous order we may include some of our bombastic friends the French, who are never so pathetically eloquent, as upon the overwhelming misery, whe ther real or conceived, of their neighbours. The Most pleasing sound to a Parisian ear, is the inferiority of other nations, after listening to the echo of his own Born. Votting tickles . a. Frenchman's fancy so much, as theidea of his neighbour going down the well - of - popularity in one bucket, while he is mounting to acclamations in the other. But once reverse the picture, and behold what a falling off was there— My countrymen ! Then you, and I, and all of ua fell down, Whilst bloody treason triumph'd over us. Nothing but treason, or something worse, could overcome the GRAND NATION ; and when dis tress steps in as a consequence, they contrive to blunt Its force by consoling themselves with the belief that their neighbours are incomparably worse off. It is true that we have had some distress during the last year, and that some districts are now suffering under severe privations, but see how the matter is pourtrayed by the Editor of the Journal du Commerce. If he had mounted the Pegasus of Munchaugen, anti as cended the highest Alps, he could not have magnified the indistinct objects below, more than he has exag- Prated our distress, through the clouds of his igno rance or malice. He says, that our prosperity last year Was without parallel, to contrast the better with our p w r _ e _ i sent un-heard of reverses. But , tak e his own labouring like Ajax, when striving — Some rock's vast weight to throw for the lan guage seems to break down under the dis asters which he has conjured up. (From the Journal du Commerce.) " History presents no example of a commercial crisis, exactly similar to that which continues to afflict Great Britain. The disasters which followed the South Sea scheme in England, the ?isinsaippi plan, Law's system, and the catastrophe of the As signats in Fta nce , h a d a re l at i on to genera l fact which were at least well known and defined* Nearly a year has passed since the time when un h ear d o f rev erie s surprisedßritain in the midst of th e greatest dreadful prosp erity that any people ever enjoyed, when, all at on ce , storm burst upon her, without any s ti i ve l n , ,: e nu th i r e ih ee g ason its com mo i r n e g.

One would suppose, after reading this concatena tion of horrors, that there was no hope—that we were already swallowed up in the gulph of perdition, ac cording to this veracious journalist, who should have look e d a little nearer home before hi trusted his ima gination so licentiously abroad into the regions of im probability. But a Frenchman always lives in fairy land—while his poor neighbours drudge in the toils of 4,pility.

Hie Loans:sir sat at eleven o'clock, and disposed of sons* mat. tete, heard various applications, and said that he should sit again on Tuesday. He will also sit on Wednesday and Thursday ; and will not he in a hurry to leave town. Mr. Sestwx asked for leave to make a motion to stay waste, on Wednesday next. His Lammas. said there was no necessity for asking leave to make such a motion. He had often heard such motions at inns on the road to his country house, at his country house, and at inns on returning from it ; and he felt perfectly persuaded that it was the duty of the Chancellor, and all the other Judges belonging to the Court, provided they could he got at, to hear such motions at any time whatever. MARTI EDWARDS, IN Till NATTKE OF HOLMES A BANKRUPT. Mr. MowrAnuE made some observations on additional affida vits filed in this matter, in which the application was, for an order to supersede a country Commission, and that a prosedendo, should issue on the original London Commission. Mr. DUCKWORTH appeared on the other side. His Loa nsitlY in giving judgment observed, that he felt perfectly satisfied nothing wrong towards the Court had been meant by the gentleman who took the former commissions. Mr. Moss, a So licitor in Derby, was the gentleman who took out a London com mission ; he afterwards found it necessary to apply for a super sedeas of that commission, and that one might issue directed to country commissioners, which be did ex-parte ; the latter had been directed to commissioners of unsullied character, and of Mr. Moss's integrity and propriety, his Lordship had the most perfect conviction ; hut under all circumstances, and regard being had to the dealings of the bankrupt, the Court thought the Commission in this matter ought to be worked in London. His Lordship, therefore, superseded the Country Commission t 'ordered a pr - sedendo on the former London Commission, and as a proof of his opinion of Mr. Moss, directed that that Gentleman should have the carriage of the London Commission. IN THE MATTER OF LADY GRIMILY. Mr. STICNCT stated that in this matter Sir Roger Gressley was anxious to show that no vindictive feeling induced him to attempt to urge any thing against his mother. He was now willing that no proceeding should be taken under the Commission for three months, as the gentlemen who appeared for her Ladyship had stated, that she was of sound mind, and compe tent to manage her affairs. He only claimed the opportunity of satisfying himself upon this, in the interim, through the interven tion of Mr. Ponsonby and some other friend ; if he should be satisfied of it, he would make any application be might he advised at the end of the three months, but, if he should have any persua sion to the contrary, beyond his 'present conviction, and see a ne cessity of applying earlier, he hoped the Court would give him that leave. Mr. PARKER WAS on the other side. The lady's property was perfectly secure, and as for herself, she was as capable of manag ing herself and her affairs as any lady in existence. He hoped Mr. Spence would consent to produce fm• inspection some letters written to Dr. Munro, which had been read before his Lordship, and which her Ladyship's Counsel had not yet had the opportu nity of seeing. Mr. Sratcr said he was taken by surprise by this request. The letters were not in his client's possession, but at any rate no proceeding should he taken immediately. His Loa.nsuir said he had seen a letter written by Sir Roger to Mr. Ponsonhy, and the answer to that letter, which, in his o pinion, was as proper a letter as could he written. He thought it would be well to let the thing stand upon the present proposed regulation. Mr. PARKsit had no objection, and so it stands. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET —Mtn DAT.) Ann Finerty, a littl e :girl about ten years of age, vras brought up on a charge of attempting to pass a counterfeit shilling. William Jackson, a stationer in the Strand, stated, that the prisoner came into his chop about eight o'clock last night, and asked for a sheet of pa per, for which site tendered st shilling, which wit« ness said was not good, and asked if she had more money. Prisoner replied in the negative , He then asked her what she had in the basket which site was carrying ? She said nothing but trifling articles; whereupon witness sent for a constable, and, on searching the basket, found therein 13 sixpences, and three shillings of halfpence, with other little articles: Witness stated that fdur bad shillings, of the same stamp as that offered by the prisonet, had been taken in his shop Within this week. The prisoner said that she had nothing td say in her defence, but cried. She was committed for trial. It was stated by one of the officers, that she had been convicted at the Old Bailey for a similar offence. Charles Lashby, and Charles Hall, were btought op on a charge of robbery. Joseph Shaw, of Crown-court, Soho, stated, that as he was crossing St. Martin's-lane, about 8 o'clock last night, he stood to read the inscription on the entrance into St. Martin's -court, when Lashby snapped the ribbon of his watch which broke by the pull, but he s ucceeded in car rying off with him-a gold seal and two rings. 'Witness cried out, " thief, thief!" and kept his eye on the priso ner until he got into a crowd where he was apprehended by a constable ; he could not swear that Lashby was the man, as he did not see his face. Wm. Groom, a constable, ;;W the two prisoners station themselves at the entrance into the Court a few minutes before this robbery. When last witness came up, he heard Hall say to Lashby,...-“ now ," as if reminding him of the opportunity ; saw Lashby then snap the watch-chain, and run o ff ; witness pursued, and did not lose sight of him, until he overtook him ; prisoner on being apprehended, said,—" search me, I have nothing." dissuade the pros ecutor f rom ta ki ng man, as the robber wore a. blue coat, and endeavoured to Hall came up, and said that Lashby was not the him into custody ; whereupon they were both lodged in the watch-house. The prisoners not being able to make a satisfactory de fence, were committed for trial. MARYLEBONE.—(Thrs DAY.) John Fuller was brought up on a charge of theft and assault. John Hayes, of the Paddington Patrol, stated, that about half-past seven o'clock this morning he observed him standing neat a Cart full of nuts, and when the proprietor of the cart was employed in measuring them out and giving them to the purchaser', the prisoner took a handful and cracked them. Witness saw him do this five or six times, and then tapped him on the shoulder with his stick, and desired him to make off with himself. The pri soner, however, refused, and made use of very improper iangUage, and struck witness repeatedly. Witness then brought him to the watch-house with the assistance of the keeper, who had coins up during their dispute. The prisoner admitted having taken some nuts, but stated that he was violently struck by the complainant with his cane, and that he struck him in return in self-defence.—Ccommitted. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—(Tuts DAY.) Mr. Wickham, of 08, Piccadilly, was charged by a Mr. Angier with driving furiously against his gig last night, in the Hampstead-road, by which violence Mrs. Angier was seriously injured, and the gig of the complainant broken to pieces. The accident happened about half past ten o'clock, and Mr. Wickham stated that he was riding with his friend who was driving at a brisk pace, be believed on the proper side of the road, when the two gigs came in contact ; he was very much hurt himself, and his friend could not leave his bed to-day from the injuries he had received. Mr. Angier here stated, that the gentlemen were both drunk, and were, besides, on the wrong side of the road. This Mr. W. denied, as far as regarded himself, but could not speak to the state of his friend. A professional Gentleman who attended for Mr. A. here stated that his client did not wish to press the charge if the gentlemen would pay for the repair, to the gig. Mr. Wickham said he was willing to send it to his own coach maker and pay for those repairs, hut the complainant would not agree to that arrangement ; he estimated the expence at 151. Sir G. FARRANT observed, that the best plan would be to settle it, and the parties retired. IVelsh, a milk and china dealer, iu Carnaby-streeet, was charged by a gentleman named Fay, with having robbed him of 1,1. 10s. The complainant had been taken to a watch-house on soma trifling charge, and waaiiberated, on hie promise to attend in the morning. He left' the watchhouse with the money in his pocket, at six o'dock in the morning, and on going into a public., house was joined by the Prisoner, who was seen, by *. boy at the bar, to take three sovereigns from the pocket of complainant, who was asleep at the time. On being roused, he missed his money, and suspected the prisoner. He insisted on searching him, and foOnd three sovereigns in his waistcoat pocket, and the hag which had contained the other part of his money in the prisoner's hat. When the prisoner was first brought into the office he boasted prodigiously of his respectability, and said that he found the hag in his bat, without any knowledge as to how it came there. He was remanded. Mary Macdonald, a poor half-starved Irish woman with two young children, was brought up from a watchhouse where she last night presented herself for shelter, having no lodging Or means of procuring any. She now told the Magistrate that she was the wife of a currier, who last worked at Guildford, and who had left her there while he sought employment in London. She had stopped till she had no means of satisfying her children's hunger, in hopes of hearing from her husband. lie had not written to her, and she yesterday, without a farthing, came to town in search of him. She had enquired, and heard from some of his trade that he was at work in the Borough, and should have proceeded thither, but was overcome with hunger and fatigue, and presented herself with her wretched children at the door of the watch-house, where she was sheltered and kindly treated. Mr. CONANT dismissed her, on her promise to go in search of her husband. Her artless and affecting tale, was not told in vain. One gentleman gave her a shilling, others contributed their mite, and she left the office with tears of gratitude, again to enter on her weary search. QUEEN-SQUARE. ..(TH is DAT). William Edwards underwent a final examination, charged with stealing five sovereigns from a man named Hudson, residing in Sovereign Mews, Edgewitre-road. After hearing the evidence of several witnesses, from which it appeared the prisoner could not honestly have obtained the money seen in his possession, he wu fully committed. EARLY DEPRAVITY.—A young girl, named Johnson, was brought in custody of Woodbury, an officer, charged with robbing her parents. The girl, it appeared, resided with her father and mother, in the New-road, Chelsea. She was their only child, in consequence of which they brought her up in the tenderst way possible. The mo ther being a great deal from home, the daughter, during her ab sence, for some months past, had been continually robbing them. Among the things stolen were silver spoons, blankets, sheets, and the fiat irons, the latter of which were all taken away and pledged at different pawnbrokers. After having committed these thefts, she absconded, and it was during her absence that her mother missed the ,n ous ar ti c l e s. The father made every diligent search after his daughter, without success; but, a few days since, the pri. saner sent a little girl to her parents' house, with a number of duplicates, and stated who:* she was to be found. The fa ther accordingly went in pursuit, and discovered his daughter in the brick fields at Chelsea, in a most wretched condition. He brought her home, and, after due consideration, determined to bring her before his Worship, in order to prevent, if passible, her coming to a disgraceful end. They were afraid she had a bad connexion. Two pawnbrokers now produced various articles pledged at their houses for months past, in the name of Johnson, but they could not swear that the prisoner pawned them. On the property being produced, the mother who appeared la grief and severe illness, identi bouriug u n d er th e mo st poignant fled the different articles. _ The prisoner being called on for her defence, burst into tears, but said nothing. Mr. WHITE addressing her said, vrere it not for the compassion I feel for your parents, whose hearts you are breaking, I would send you to trial.—(Here the mother fainted away, and was taken out of Court. )._..The Worthy Magistrate, after a very appropriate lecture, ordered her to be committed to Tothil-fields prison, theirs to be kept in close confinement, and fed oil bread and water. EST RUCTI V E FI E.— Abopt eleven o'clock last night a fire was discovered M the p r i nt i rtg _ 9fti o e of Mr. Tailor, Lamb's - CAmduit-passage, Red Lion-square, which threatened the most serious consequences. The moment the fire was discovered, Mr.'Jackson, the florist, and a number of other neighbours, exerted themselves to extinguish the flames, in which they succeeded be"' fore the arrival of the engines, but not More t h e w h o l e of the w printing-of f ice, and all the valuable materials were destroyed; the dwelling-house was preserved by the activity of the neighbours. We regret to state that Mr. Jackson received some serious hurts from his great exertion. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGtNCE.

DUKE OF YORK'S NEW RESIDENCE. The exterior of the mansion erecting for the future residence of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, is airtiost finished, and presents a very magnificent aspect what seen from the Parks ; the form of the building is nearly a square. The front side, which faces the Canal in St. Jatnes's Park, projects slightly at each end ; there is also a projecting in the middle, having six Corinthian columns a little m advance, sup porting a pediment, the windows on the ground floor between the piers which support the columns, have cir cular heads. At each end are Venetian windows one on the ground floor, and one on the first floor ; the on the first floor has two pilasters on each side of it, of the Corinthian order, of the same height as the columns which support the pediment in the middle. There ate eleven windows along this side of the building, both in the ground and first floors ; those of the first floor are of large dimensions, and fully proportionate to the magnitude of the building. The West side, fronting the Green Park, resembles exactly the side we have 1 1 just described, with these exceptions—there are no pilasters on the projections at the two ends, neither has it the Venetian windows, as they are all made of the same dimensions. The East side, which is directly opposite the Duke of Clarence's new mansion, differs from the other sides in its not having any columns in the centre projection, which contains only three win dows ; between each of these windows are placed two Corinthian pilasters ; there also two pilasters at each of the angles of the centre projection. There are nine windows on each tier on this side. The remaining side to the north has been chosen for the entrance, owing to the open space in the Stable Yard, imme diately in front of it, affording ample room for the pur pose of a court-yard. In the middle of this side of the building a portico is erecting, which will vet.) shortly be completed. It projects sufficiently far to leave a commodious carriage drive under it. It is-sus .trained by eight Corinthian columns, six in front, and Area placed behind the end ones near the building,: which stand on piers, extending as high as the first floor ; the height of the portico will correspond with the height of the pediments on the South and West sides. Above the columns, pilasters, &c. an entabla ture of the Corinthian Order rims uninterruptedly round the building. Above this entablature a very elegant balustrade has been put up to serve as a screen to the attic windows. Within the outer wall, although at no great distance from it, is an attic wall, rising se veral feet above the roof, which goes completely round the building. Into this wall all the flues have been conducted. Nearly in the centre of the edifice, and still loftier than the attic wall, a lantern of considera ble dimensions has been erected ; it is to light the grand staircase, leading from the ground floor to the state apartments on the first floor. The whole of the exterior walls have been cased with stone, which, together with the piers, &c., have been rusticated in the French style, as - high as the first floor. SUDDEN DEATII.—The Abbe Paris, cure of Havre de Grace, died suddenly in the pulpit on the 26th ult. He was preaching a sermon on death, when he suddenly stopped, said " I feel ill my brethren," and fell back in the pulpit. Before any person could reach him he was no more. He had been cure of Havre 28 years.—Paris Paper. A few days ago, a man of the name of Timothy Holland, a ballast-heaver at the London•docks, was endeavouring, with many others, he being the first, to pass over one of the lock bridges, the gates of which were just closing, when imprudently attempting to pass. from one to the other before they had entirely met, one , of his legs became entangled, and was crushed so dreadfully that the foot was left hanging to the heel by the sinews only. In this state be was taken to William's ward, St. Thomas's Hospital. A beautiful meteor passed over the city on Sunday. , night about nine o'clock, in a direction from south to north, So vivid was its appearance, that many per sons at the moment supposed that it had been a sud den combustion of gas.- r 4dinburgh Observer.

Her steward, remonstrating that she passed all the bounds of prudence, she mildly answered, Let uswhile give always, and even borrow shall it is necessary, to save the poor from death ; . never want, neither n f •in my station or. 9 arm there is no great merit in trusting to Providence: POLICV, INTELLIGENCE.---DUBLI AItRDER Or A: Wcy3fAN BY BER liusuANn.—A tour do' Marked by a ptitieu a degree of atrocity, was com mitted at Maiabrile, off Sattirda.y night, or early on Sun day twitting hot, the particulars of which, atefar as they can be ascertained, are ate follow., Robert Lang, 'a native df PrivacW, but who had been a resident .of the above place int dine years, returned home on that night and per petrated the hotri'd deed by inflicting a number of wounds on the body of his itgated victim. On the inquest four witnesses were produced, t-0 of whom are females of the age of eight and ten years, 'children of the unfortunate woman by her murderer, and whose evidence stamps that horrible character on the author of their being. It appears that he committed the act on the floor of the kitchen, after which he removed the body to the bed; he then washed himself and changed his clothes, even to his linen, and at an early hour absconded. A person who lodged in the house, and a boy who slept in it, proved that they . had heard her cries, calling for assistance ; but the parties being in the habit of quarrelling, they did not interfere. To jealousy is as cribed the cause of this dreadful deed. It is melancholy to reflect, that this wretched offender has, for the present, escaped; and it is equally so when we have to record, that the circumstance was known to many persons before he departed ; and what appears more singular, the sister of the murdered woman, wha, with her husband, was living with Doctor Farran, who resides within a short distance of Long's house, although aware of the occurrence at four o'clock that morning, did not inform her master of it for six hours after. Mr. M'Carthy, Coroner, having summoned &respectable Jury, and these farts being proved to them, a verdict of " Wilful Murder" was recorded. We hope, in our next, to be enabled to announce the apprehension of this sanguinary wratelt,4l Mr. Fitzgibbon, Chief Constable of the Police stationed at Malalude, is, with his party, using every exertion to discover his retreat. —Dublin Patriot.

Although a considerable number of subscribers were absent at Epsount Races, the betting yesterday was any thing but dull. Belzoni resumed his former place in the odds, at 9 to 4, more than which could not be got—any one would take 6to 2. Bed lamite receded a little, 8 to I being leid at the opening; the closing odds , _ however, were to I. Twenty ponies to one was taken that he did not start. Crusader, Mulatto, The Dragon, and Paul Pry, kept so clam together, till towards the evening, that it will be difficult to say which ioid the call—at last the Dragon was taken for choice in several iota between him and Mulatto, while Paul Pry and Crusader kept together at half a point behind them. Lord Scarborough's colt Tarries yes made a good favourite, 20 and 18 to 1 being taken, wd l 7 to 1 being the closing price. Some heavy betting took place httwetn horses.
